In Spirits of the Great Hill, Winfield returns to the format of Shadows of the Western Door in retelling stories of hauntings and other supernatural activity in the Western New York area. This is a good book, but not nearly as gripping as Shadows was. Those who read ghost stories just for the chill will probably find this book boring. But for those who like a bit of history as well as a question left in your mind, you'll enjoy this. The book is especially enhanced if you're familiar with the WNY area. As a native of the area, I find I get a bigger thrill from being able to actually place myself in the locals listed in the book, especially the Roycroft section, since East Aurora is my home town. All in all, Spirits is quite good, and many stories are not such that you'll forget them anytime soon.
